Hayden offers energy solutions

During Tom Hayden’s speech Wednesday evening before a group of government and business representatives, a wry joke was the only mention of his past as a leader of the student movement to end the Vietnam War.
"You know he really isn’t as radical as people think,” one member of the audience said as he walked out of the business school's Edison Aujitd-rium.
A soon-to-be-announced candidate for the 44th California Assembly seat, Hayden called for a new, creative partnership between the public and private sectors.
He quoted the Paine Webber Investment Co. and Harvard Business School to prove his points. “The ’60s was an era of protest, the ’70s one of confusion and breakdown. During the ’80s solutions will have to be brought forth.”
Many of his* solutions centered on the energy problem,

an issue which Hayden sees as the basic cause of the nation’s economic troubles.
“All of our economic problems — inflation, unemployment, recession — are caused by the massive and continuous shockwave to the economy sent by the increase of energy prices since 1973,” Hayden said.
He called the present administration’s spending on nuclear power “nostalgia” and said that Wall Street is joining those who are against nuclear power.
‘‘People demonstrating against nuclear power are being joined by the pillars of responsibility — Merrill Lynch, Standard and Poors, and Paine Webber,” he said.
Investing in nuclear power "is a potential time-bomb that can push a company to the brink of bankruptcy,” Hayden said, quoting Paine Webber.
Some of the energy alternatives Hayden suggested included co-generation, geothermal, solar power and conservation.
“The Harvard Business School estimated a 40 percent reduction in energy use can be made by the year 2000,” he said.
“A 25 percent reduction in energy use would save $300 billion in current dollars. This is four times the amount that Detroit needs to completely retool.”
Although Hayden urged dialogues between business and government, he emphasized that he was “not proposing a marriage between big government and big business.”

Female security officers sought, recruiting planned
By David Wharton
Assistant City Editor
University Secuiity’s failure to actively recruit women has left the force with a shortage of femaie officers, which department officials say they will combat by initiating a recruiting program.
University Security currently employs two women on its 42-officer roster.
Chief Steven Ward said the cause of the shortage lies in a lack of qualified female applicants. No women have been selected from the last two hirings dating to July of 1980.
“We have not made a special effort to attract women and that may be something we have to do,” Ward said. “I think the next time around, we’ll make a stronger effort to recruit women.”
Security will investigate the possibility of visiting college campuses and private police academies in order to recruit more female applicants, said Carl Levredge, director of University Security and Parking Operations.
Nate Atkins, a training officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, said that women bring a different perspective to the job of law enforcement, and are often better than men in dealing with rape victims.
Ward said that beyond their value in helping female attack victims, women officers lend different attitudes and ideas that help destroy stereotyping and prejudice which often plague an all-male force.
“The traditionally all-male society of police work is not reflective of the outside world,” he explained. “(Women) have a normalizing effect. They make the department more like the real world.”
Those women who recently applied to the force were unable to successfully complete University Security’s rigorous applicant testing. Most women failed to meet physical performance standards, said Lt. Gary Rus, who is overseeing the selection of officers for this hiring session.
The lieutenant said that of the six women who applied this hiring session, two failed to pass the written exam and the other four failed the physical test.
“The grading scale (for the physical exams) is one that was checked out by LAPD, I believe,” Rus said. “It has been adjusted for women.”
The lieutenant explained that most of the women fail the weight drag test, part of the physical exam where the applicant must drag a weighted dummy over a certain distance in a fixed amount of time.
"A lot of academies don't use all of the things that we do, but I think they all have the weight drag," Rus said. “You have to be able to pull someone out of a burning building or, if someone is shot, you have to pull them out oi the way.”
